The Bruins and Canucks both advanced to the second round of the NHL playoffs with 4 straight wins.

Boston swept away with their Original Six foes from Montreal and along with it the  spectre of a 3 series losing streak to the Candiens. Tim Thomas was solid but never needed to be spectacular as Montreal wasn’t a threaten to take a game in this series.

Vancouver swept a 4 games series for the first time in franchise history. It will give high profile addition Mats Sundin time to rest his “lower body injury.” I’m guessing it’s his hip or groin.

Both teams will rest their bodies and wait for their next opponents.

There is still plenty games to bet in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
